Re: Spike (relay) module pin out

The simple circuit I designed is to test systems controlled by the spike relay module, quickly while in the pits. In the pits it is sometimes required to activate only one subsystem, or part, without the need to power everything up, as well as tether the robot, we have a pwm signal gen that works with the victors, and this is designed to work with the spikes, so that I can manually control a relay. So, if we are having problems with our program (Jeez, I hope we got the bugs out), or if we modify/readjust something, we can test the individual system and verify its working condition. You do not absolutely need this, however, in my experience with the pwm signal gen, it comes in handy, and saves time while troubleshooting.
